"Heh, those who harmed me, how could they possibly have such a good end!" Xiao Jinhan sneered, his deep voice tinged with a hint of malice. "Aren't the snake cubs in the snake pit hungry? Throw the two of them and the pieces of flesh from their bodies in there."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Yu Feng swallowed hard. "I'll take care of it right away."
The man walked quickly, but a sense of regret inevitably arose in his heart.
The snake cubs in the snake den refer to the nest of baby vipers that he and Miss Su encountered on the summit of Mount Fuhu.
After killing the viper king, the master intended to destroy the entire viper nest. However, Miss Su said that vipers were also part of the ecological cycle. He didn't understand and only guessed that the girl was kind and compassionate and couldn't bear to kill the snakes.
The master then ordered him and Yu Yu to move the viper's den to a hilltop far away from Fuhu Mountain overnight.
Since the brothers in Qingshui County had already tasted the delicious flavor of roasted viper meat, for the past month, they have been catching wild animals in their spare time to feed the nest of baby vipers in the mountains.
However, it's unlikely that anyone will be willing to eat a viper that has eaten human flesh in the future.
Especially Yu Yu, after returning from the capital, will definitely be envious. Given his greedy nature, he will most likely go and find another viper's den to raise.
Thinking about it this way, the slight regret that had arisen in my heart vanished without a trace.
Thousands of miles away, outside the Tianyifang in the capital city.
Yu Yu stepped across the threshold, and suddenly felt a tickle on the tip of her nose.
Achoo!
Achoo—
The boy paused, his baby face involuntarily scrunching up. The older generation often says, "First you think, then you curse, then you mutter." His two sneezes in a row clearly indicated that some bastard was cursing him.
But after he rushed to the capital from Shanghe Village, apart from checking on the progress of the soft armor at Tianyi Workshop every day, he never had any dealings with anyone.
Unless it's Yu Feng, Yu Lei, or Yu Dian.
Before they could figure out who this bastard was, a familiar embroiderer's voice rang out from inside the Tianyi Workshop.
"I'm really sorry, this golden silkworm soft armor was specially made for the customer. It's the only one available and cannot be sold to others."
Golden Silkworm Soft Armor?
Upon hearing this, Yu Yu disregarded everything else and ran inside as fast as she could.
At Tianyi Workshop, embroiderers are ranked according to their embroidery skills. First-rank embroiderers all have their own private embroidery rooms. Yu Yu hired the best embroiderer at Tianyi Workshop.
Tianyi Workshop is extremely popular, with people queuing up to have their clothes made half a year in advance. Without the reputation of the Yu family of Prince Gong's Mansion, it would be difficult to hire the best embroiderers, and even if they were hired, they would have to stay in the capital for more than half a year.
Furthermore, vipers' scales are naturally ugly, and only the best embroiderers can make it impossible for their masters to tell that they are vipers.
Today is the day to collect the Golden Silkworm Armor. If someone else manages to steal it, he'll never be able to return to Shanghe Village for the rest of his life.
Yu Yu rushed to the embroidery room and heard an angry shout, "How dare you! Do you know who our young lady is? It's just a soft armor. It's a blessing for your Tianyi Workshop that our Princess Mingzhu would take a liking to it!"
Looking up, she saw a dozen or so maids and servants standing outside the embroidery room.
In the very center of the embroidery room, besides the embroiderer, stood two women, one in white and one in pink.
"Princess, please forgive me." The embroiderer was respectful, but still did not back down. "According to the rules of Tianyi Workshop, customers who do not have custom-made clothes cannot use them. I cannot sell this Golden Cicada Soft Armor to the princess."
"What audacity! A mere embroiderer dares to disregard even our Princess Mingzhu!"
Seeing her like this, the maid in pink turned around and waved to the outside of the embroidery room, "You all come in and teach her manners properly. Otherwise, outsiders will think that our Princess of Yan's Mansion is someone who can bully even a little embroiderer."
"Pink Butterfly, don't be rude!" The woman in white shook her head disapprovingly.
He then looked up at the embroiderer and said gently, "I wonder who commissioned this golden silkworm soft armor? Please ask Tianyi Workshop to convey that I am willing to pay double the price to buy it from her, is that alright?"
"this……"
The embroiderer's brows furrowed slightly.
Prince Gong's Mansion is not short of money at all. Just based on the fact that the other party comes to check on things every day, let alone double the price, even if they offered ten times, a hundred times, or a thousand times the price, he would never sell it.
However, the Prince of Yan's mansion is one that Tianyi Workshop cannot afford to offend.
"What?!" Pink Butterfly grew impatient when she didn't respond for a while. "It's so difficult for you to even pass on a message..."
"No need to pass on the message, this soft armor is not for sale." Yu Yu stepped into the embroidery room, walked a few steps to the wardrobe, and took the golden silkworm soft armor directly into her hands.
The embroiderer looked at Yu Yu's figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Lord Yu, please take a look. Are you satisfied with this golden silkworm soft armor? If there is anything you are not satisfied with, please tell me and I will change it immediately."
After saying that, he took out a pair of dark gold gloves from the very back of the cabinet. "With the remaining viper scales, I made a pair of golden silkworm gloves according to your wishes. Please take a look and see if they suit your taste?"
"Thank you for your trouble." Yu Yu nodded and accepted it.
Actually, whether he is satisfied or not is not important; what is important is that Miss Su is satisfied.
Over the course of half a month, I watched the golden silkworm soft armor being woven bit by bit. At this moment, looking at the soft armor and gloves, my emotions did not fluctuate much.
However, while his mood remained relatively calm, the two servants opposite him widened their eyes in unison the moment the Golden Silkworm Armor opened.
The soft armor is thin and light, with auspicious clouds embroidered on it with golden silkworm silk. With the slightest movement, a dark golden light surges.
The neck and the tip of the soft nail are outlined with gold thread.
The golden silkworm gloves paired with the golden silkworm soft armor are a match made in heaven, simple yet exuding an air of nobility.
Jun Qingcheng remained relatively composed, but Fen Die gasped in astonishment, "Princess, this soft armor is absolutely gorgeous! It's as if it was tailor-made for you!"
As she spoke, she brought her face almost close to the golden silkworm armor, her chin slightly raised, "Our princess really likes this armor you're wearing, why don't you name a price..."
Yu Yu glanced at her but didn't respond. Seeing that the soft armor and gloves were fine, she quickly packed them into her bundle and carefully placed them to her chest.
He then took out another silver note and handed it to the embroiderer next to him, saying, "Thank you, this is the rest of your payment."
When Cai Die was close by and suddenly saw the amount on the banknote, the words that were about to come out were immediately stuck in her throat.
Ten thousand taels?
A single piece of Golden Silkworm Soft Armor costs a whopping ten thousand taels of silver!!!
No, the rule of Tianyifang's custom clothing is that half of the deposit must be paid at the beginning of the customization process. That is to say, this soft armor will cost 20,000 taels of silver.
Jun Qingcheng could see clearly through the conical hat, and her gaze at Yu Yu's back suddenly froze for a moment.
Golden silkworms are the noble among silkworms, and the production of golden silkworm silk is extremely low, making it always expensive but unavailable. Even with silver, one cannot buy golden silkworm silk in Tianyi Workshop; it is only available to noble families.
Moreover, the embroiderer just addressed him as Lord Yu.
There is only one powerful and wealthy family surnamed Yu in the capital.
Thinking of this, a gentle light instantly appeared in Jun Qingcheng's eyes, "Wait a moment..."
